Be jealous.
Not only are my work colleagues wonderful, funny, generous, intelligent, hard-working and decent people, they’re fabulous cooks.
This year’s edition of our Thanksgiving potluck (Canadian Thanksgiving is October 13) surpassed all others by far (not that 2007 or 2006 were shabby by any means).
In fact the only “problem” with this year’s potluck was that yours truly forgot her camera. And that after she told all her colleagues to make their dishes look fabulous (as if they wouldn’t look fabulous anyway).
Ah, well. You’ll have to take my word and the not-so-good photos from my cell phone as proof of our culinary abilities.
Go ahead. Be jealous.
Ciao!

Very impressive indeed. Now I need the number to Human Resources. I want to work at your company. The only potluck we ever did was when I got sick of looking at everyone’s leftovers in the fridge that they simply forgot about - put them all out on a long table (even the green disintegrated sandwich) and had an announcement made that there was a suprise pot luck in the lunchroom. Absolute chaos but very funny.

Me and my friend Stu used to have a “bake of” every now and then, but having everyone have a go is great! BECAUSE THERE’S MORE TO EAT

Okay. I AM jealous.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Good to see you guys are still doing that. I am having to miss T-day this year. I can’t have any dairy right now and so I would be missing out on all of my favorites.
Leafs- you had a good first games. 2nd game…ah there are the Leafs.

Ivonne, I have a new email address, and I’m not able to write to you directly, so I will use this forum, but you can email me back directly. I am heading to Berlin in 2 weeks, I’ve never been there. I just reread your blog on your trip, but you didn’t mention any restaurants. Would you please recommend some restaurants, eateries, pubs, etc? I trust your judgement! Thanks, cak.

Damn, what a delicious looking potluck. Lucky girl.

[…] I don’t think so. I’m sorry to have to do this but it appears as though I’m going to have to make you jealous … again! […]

[…] Every year, just prior to Thanksgiving, I go on and on about my coworkers and what great cooks/bakers they are. Just as previous years, we had our annual Thanksgiving […]
